German "beer metal" band...yes, ALL their songs are about beer! No joke!

"Zombie Attack"

1. "Zombie Attack" (3:49)
2. "Acid Death" (4:15)
3. "Mercenary" (3:24)
4. "Maniac Forces" (5:05)
5. "Alcohol" (2:06)
6. "(Empty) Tankard" (4:43)
7. "Thrash 'Till Death" (2:31)
8. "Chains (In Your Face)" (3:36)
9. "Poison" (3:56)
10. "Screamin' Victims" (3:01)

Impressive thrash debut, fast and furious. Curiously, they did a second song called "Alcohol" on their 2nd album, but the two songs are nothing alike!

"Chemical Invasion"

1. "Intro" (0:17)
2. "Total Addiction" (3:26)
3. "Tantrum" (3:15)
4. "Don't Panic" (4:24)
5. "Puke" (0:57)
6. "For a Thousand Beers"--instrumental (7:23)
7. "Chemical Invasion" (5:27)
8. "Farewell to a Slut" (4:09)
9. "Traitor" (7:55)
10. "Alcohol" (2:03)

Easily their best CD, and the only one I had to order brand new. I especially like the minute-long song "Puke", which despite its brevity has a complete song structure (verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, verse, chorus.) "For a Thousand Beers" is a cool instrumental.

"The Morning After"

1. "Intro" (0:28)
2. "Commandments" (2:50)
3. "Shit-Faced" (4:00)
4. "TV Hero" (5:58)
5. "F.U.N." (3:10)
6. "Try Again" (3:37)
7. "The Morning After" (4:24)
8. "Desperation" (4:32)
9. "Feed the Lohocla" (3:57)
10. "Help Yourself" (5:00)
11. "Mon Cheri" (0:44)
12. "Outro" (0:28)

Not that great of an album, yet essential for the song "Try Again", which sounds COMPLETELY unlike anything they've ever done!! It's their best song by far...hmm, can't think of anything else to say, really.

"Alien"

1. "Alien" (3:09)
2. "666 Packs" (4:51)
3. "Live to Dive" (3:08)
4. "Remedy" (2:48)
5. "(Empty) Tankard" (4:42)

Just a quickie EP with four new songs and a rerecorded version of "Empty Tankard". "666 Packs" is the first ever satanic beer song!

"Fat, Ugly & Live"

1. "The Meaning of Life" (5:40)
2. "Mercenary" (3:39)
3. "Beermuda" (4:42)
4. "Total Addiction" (3:53)
5. "Poison" (5:45)
6. "We Are Us" (5:17)
7. "Maniac Forces" (4:43)
8. "Live to Dive" (3:19)
9. "Chemical Invasion" (5:58)
10. "The Morning After" (4:44)
11. "Space Beer" (4:46)
12. "Medley": (total = 5:07)
    
    • "Alcohol"
    • "Puke"
    • "Mon Cheri"
    • "Wonderful Life"
13. "(Empty) Tankard" (6:52)

A live album, which I really only got because it features many songs from albums I didn't have at the time. Great party atmosphere on this album, with most of the song introductions spoken in German.

There were 2 other Tankard CDs I bought, Two-Faced and The Tankard, but to my horror they ditched the beer-songs for generic, slightly political speed metal. Granted, it wasn't bad for generic, slightly political speed metal, but their change of style pissed me off so much that I sold 'em both off (after ripping the 2 or 3 songs I liked, of course.)
